Team Meeting Flashcards
Low Morale
- too broad.
■ BWC (Pillar 1)
o No turning on or forgetting after “tactical briefings”
o Why do I need to keep the call on during a call
- The department (management) reported some concerns Regarding Officers not turning on their BWC or forgetting to turn on BWC after tactical briefing.
- Officers shall turn on their BWC when interacting with the public.
- you can turn off BWC only when tactical or safety reason, or the encounter does not hold investigative value.
- just remember, the department is not looking into BWC recordings to get you into trouble or performance review.
- IA will only be reviewing BWC if someone complain, most likely a citizen, and IA and will only be reviewing the BWC to confirm or deny the complaint allegation.
- The BWC is a tool that could prevent false allegation, and statistically most of the complaint allegation and false.
- we have to use BWC because the public and the department agreed to it, and to enhance trust and legitimacy between the public and our department.

Tier 2 vs Tier 1
- I understand your concerns and the POA is aware of the issues in tier 2.
- Just remember it’s not set in stone. It’s could change later on because the retention rate of newer Officers like yourself are short. They are leaving to other departments; thus San Jose police department will always have a shortage of officers and the population continually increases.
- To resolve the issue of retention rate, the city and the POA have to modify the contract to attract younger Officer who are tier 2 to stay.
- In the meantime, as your supervisor, I will try to provide you information regarding voting for POA rep, upcoming contract negotiation, and the content of the contract. Now you will
be better prepared to make a wise decision about who’s representing you, upcoming contract negotiation (more involve) and the
content of the contact tier 2 modifications). - you have the power to change tier 2 for your benefit.
